April 30: Semifinals Front-Runners: Davidson (10-2; 5-0), UMass (11-2; 6-0), Richmond (8-1; 4-0) The conference split into North and South divisions for 2021 due to COVID-19 scheduling. Davidson is leading the South in wins and UMass is leading the North, both sitting perfect in conference play. Davidson has put together an impressive 2021 campaign with wins over Virginia Tech and High Point, but the real test will come when they have to face Richmond for the first time to maintain their status in the South. The Spiders sit No. 18 in the Media Poll currently. In the North, UMass handled the next best team easily in a 21-12 victory over Saint Joe’s. If this score is any indication, they’ll likely win their second matchup against them, as well, to maintain the No. 1 seed.
